Tigers Fall to Royals in Series Opener | Detroit Tigers News

Tigers stumble in series opener as Royals blast three homers, including two solo shots and a double that sealed the 5-2 win — despite a late rally fueled by RBI hits from McKinstry and McGonigle. Noah Cameron’s surprise early exit (85 pitches) and Troy Melton’s rare homer allowed (his first in 8 starts) compounded Detroit’s woes, while defensive lapses handed KC key runs. The loss drops Detroit to 6-1 in their last 7 games, tightening their wild-card chase. Drew Anderson takes the mound Saturday against Michael Wacha — and Kansas City locks up the season series.
